    How To Play Videos

    So, each character has two How To Play videos, one Basic, and one Advanced. I really like this idea, but the videos can be a little difficult to watch in their current form. They present a lot of information in a very short period, and, as one becomes more experienced, you tend to be interested in a smaller and smaller proportion of the video. If you are specifically interested in just one of the things it is teaching, you end up watching a several minute video, probably not concentrating on 90% of it, and hoping that you grasp the one concept it gives all of ten seconds to.

    Ideally, could we either have a pause/rewind function, or could the videos be split into smaller chunks so that we can just get the bits we're interested in?

    Yeah, I'm not feeling the videos unless they have some form of control. They have the info in written form but as you can't access that in-game, its usefulness is pretty diminished.

    On top of that, the tutorial restricts your abilities until the end to the point where it's more prudent to sit around in pve dominion matches and practice things. I do hope training rooms with access to more malleable tutorials - like the ability to view the videos from its pause menu and scrub through them, or at least the command menu - would become available in the full game.

    Great points before. Ideal would be if you could open the practice session from the main menu. The videos are great, but too long. The best would be if you could merge the moves section with the videos. You made a great list how to unlock the special combos, combine that with a short video. Just split up the long tutorial video.
    It would be also nice if we could pratice the movement right after the video. The game could give us tipps, to slow/to fast....

    Also why are the videos depicting an Xbox controller? I don't use a damned controller, I use a mouse/keyboard lol.

    The videos are clear, but a bit of practice would be better. For instance, if someone could train on a move in particular, that would be great. You would not be forced to do it, but doing so would be rewarding.
    I fought without watching these, I got wrecked, once I did, I got a good.
    But, practicing without being interrupted by outside A.I. could be useful.

    Perhaps something akin to Devil May Cry's move library, with the button presses and a short (15 seconds) video showcasing the action, would be useful to quickly and efficiently instruct players in the various moves and combos available to each character.

    But that's only my opinion.
